man, my uncle used to raise turkeys, ducks, geese, pheasant, quail, pretty much anything with feathers that could be clipped. His smokehouse was farking nuts. *sigh* now I have a sad thinking about those thanksgivings. They were a unique breed that just doesn't exist anymore in America.

Rapmaster2000:Everyone knows that hipsters will be preparing the turkey that they shot on one of their hunting trips from last spring. Hipsters can skin a buck and they can run a trot line. Hipsters can survive.

I train wild turkeys to fly really fast, train them for years from the moment they are hatched until they can out fly an eagle, then I let them lose and hunt them armed only with a slingshot, I never settle for less than a BOOM! headshot!

Once you have hunted a wild turkey that has been trained from birth with a slingshot you will never settle for anything less.

I free-ranged six heritage turkeys summer before last, so I'm really getting a kick that I didn't this year. Actually ended up with five, because one of them was pecked to death. They were annoying, nosy, stupid, made huge turds on my porch, and were absolutely no fun. There's a reason that jerks are called "turkeys".

Well, I send *my* turkeys to a little Shaolin Temple in China for training, and when they return, they're set loose on the slopes of Mt. Baker, where I hunt them while blindfolded, using only my heightened senses to track them, whereupon I kill them using Pai Mei's Five Point Exploding Heart Technique.

Mmmmm, moist and delicious, with the most incredibly light and crunchy skin....

stonelotus:I'll never understand people who don't know or care where their food comes from.

Replace "food" with "capacitors" or "cotton" or "books" and you'll understand. You've decided it's important to you, and that's fine. But most people don't care for the same reasons you don't know or care where the glue that went into your book binding came from -- the cost of finding out is often much higher than the benefit of knowing.

Sir, I respectfully disagree for the singular reason that I won't be eating any capacitors/cotton/books (at least I don't intend to) .

your body isn't made from the glue that holds your books together. the quality of the workmanship does nothing to enhance the information being taken in.

HA ! While you are digesting your crappy Broad Breasted White thinking it doesn't get better than this , I'll be dinning on a Bourbon Red with the smug satisfaction of knowing that you don't know how good it could really be.
